Refrig Dispenser Paddle

How does one replace the water dispenser paddle? I have ordered the actuator-water assembly.

You must remove the despenser from the door and take it apart!!!

Is it easy to remove or do I have to take the entire panel off?

It looks like you slide out the catch pan in the bottom of the despenser,remove the 2 screws at the bottom and remove the despenser.

What is the best way to remove the water hose without damaging it so that I can put the new dispense in?
